Waterhouse showed that every profinite group is isomorphic to one arising from the Galois theory of some field K ; but one cannot ( yet ) control which field K will be in this case.

While Ruffini and Abel established that the general quintic could not be solved, some particular quintics can be solved, such as ( x − 1 )< sup > 5 </ sup >= 0, and the precise criterion by which a given quintic or higher polynomial could be determined to be solvable or not was given by Évariste Galois, who showed that whether a polynomial was solvable or not was equivalent to whether or not the permutation group of its roots – in modern terms, its Galois group – had a certain structure – in modern terms, whether or not it was a solvable group.

This phenomenon of Galois representations is related to the fact that the fundamental group of a topological space acts on the singular cohomology groups, because Grothendieck showed that the Galois group can be regarded as a sort of fundamental group.

In fact, Murty showed that Artin L-functions corresponding to irreducible representations of the Galois group of a solvable extension of the rationals are automorphic as predicted by the Langlands conjectures.

The implications of both definitions are in fact very similar, since an antitone Galois connection between A and B is just a monotone Galois connection between A and the order dual B < sup > op </ sup > of B.

Notable nearby craters include Galois just to the southeast, Das to the south-southeast, Doppler attached to the southern rim, and Kibal ' chich to the northeast.

It is located just to the southeast of another huge walled plain, Korolev, a formation nearly double the diameter of Galois.

It is located just to the northeast of the much larger walled plain Galois, being separated by a stretch of irregular terrain about 20 – 30 km in width.

" While Poisson's report was made before Galois ' Bastille Day arrest, it took until October to reach Galois in prison.

This conjecture is also supported by other letters Galois later wrote to his friends the night before he died.

" However, the legend of Galois pouring his mathematical thoughts onto paper the night before he died seems to have been exaggerated.

While many mathematicians before Galois gave consideration to what are now known as groups, it was Galois who was the first to use the word group ( in French groupe ) in a sense close to the technical sense that is understood today, making him among the founders of the branch of algebra known as group theory.

The earliest results identifiable as Galois cohomology had been known long before, in algebraic number theory and the arithmetic of elliptic curves.

Like Galois and Abel before him, Eisenstein died before the age of 30.

Whatever the reasons behind the duel, Galois was so convinced of his impending death that he stayed up all night writing letters to his Republican friends and composing what would become his mathematical testament, the famous letter to Auguste Chevalier outlining his ideas, and three attached manuscripts.

*-This biography challenges the common myth concerning Galois ' duel and death.

* The drinking, duel and early death of Galois.

Much more detailed speculation based on these scant historical details has been interpolated by many of Galois ' biographers ( most notably by Eric Temple Bell in Men of Mathematics ), such as the frequently repeated speculation that the entire incident was stage-managed by the police and royalist factions to eliminate a political enemy.

Galois theory uses groups to describe the symmetries of the roots of a polynomial ( or more precisely the automorphisms of the algebras generated by these roots ).

Insights into these issues were also gained using Galois theory pioneered by Évariste Galois.

A Galois connection between these posets consists of two monotone functions: F: A → B and G: B → A, such that for all a in A and b in B, we have

The Artin reciprocity law applies to a Galois extension of algebraic number fields whose Galois group is abelian, assigns L-functions to the one-dimensional representations of this Galois group ; and states that these L-functions are identical to certain Dirichlet L-series or more general series ( that is, certain analogues of the Riemann zeta function ) constructed from Hecke characters.

Langlands attached automorphic L-functions to these automorphic representations, and conjectured that every Artin L-function arising from a finite-dimensional representation of the Galois group of a number field is equal to one arising from an automorphic cuspidal representation.

Amongst his most original contributions were: his " Conjecture II " ( still open ) on Galois cohomology ; his use of group actions on Trees ( with H. Bass ); the Borel-Serre compactification ; results on the number of points of curves over finite fields ; Galois representations in ℓ-adic cohomology and the proof that these representations have often a " large " image ; the concept of p-adic modular form ; and the Serre conjecture ( now a theorem ) on mod-p representations that made Fermat's last theorem a connected part of mainstream arithmetic geometry.

Over the field of real numbers, the real component of the identity of these algebraically twisted forms of E < sub > 6 </ sub > coincide with the three real Lie groups mentioned above, but with a subtlety concerning the fundamental group: all adjoint forms of E < sub > 6 </ sub > have fundamental group Z / 3Z in the sense of algebraic geometry, with Galois action as on the third roots of unity ; this means that they admit exactly one triple cover ( which may be trivial on the real points ); the further non-compact real Lie group forms of E < sub > 6 </ sub > are therefore not algebraic and admit no faithful finite-dimensional representations.

Equivalently, the extension E / F is Galois if and only if it is algebraic, and the field fixed by the automorphism group Aut ( E / F ) is precisely the base field F. ( See the article Galois group for definitions of some of these terms and some examples.

Perfect fields are significant because Galois theory over these fields becomes simpler, since the general Galois assumption of field extensions being separable is automatically satisfied over these fields ( see third condition above ).

However, one can take a projective limit of finite constant group schemes to get profinite group schemes, which appear in the study of fundamental groups and Galois representations or in the theory of the fundamental group scheme, and these are affine of infinite type.

In the light of later work on Galois theory, the principles of these proofs have been clarified.

So these primes have residue degree 2, so they split into exactly three prime ideals in a degree 6 extension of Q with it as Galois group.

It is these generalized ideal class groups which correspond to abelian extensions of K by the existence theorem, and in fact are the Galois groups of these extensions.

That generalized ideal class groups are finite is proved along the same lines of the proof that the usual ideal class group is finite, well in advance of knowing these are Galois groups of finite abelian extensions of the number field.

In October 1823, he entered the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, and despite some turmoil in the school at the beginning of the term ( when about a hundred students were expelled ), Galois managed to perform well for the first two years, obtaining the first prize in Latin.

While their counterparts at Polytechnique were making history in the streets during les Trois Glorieuses, Galois and all the other students at the École Normale were locked in by the school's director.

At around the same time, nineteen officers of Galois ' former unit were arrested and charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government.

Galois ' mathematical contributions were published in full in 1843 when Liouville reviewed his manuscript and declared it sound.

Galois constructed them as fractional linear transforms, and observed that they were simple except if p was 2 or 3.

Thus three major themes in 19th century mathematics were combined by Lie in creating his new theory: the idea of symmetry, as exemplified by Galois through the algebraic notion of a group ; geometric theory and the explicit solutions of differential equations of mechanics, worked out by Poisson and Jacobi ; and the new understanding of geometry that emerged in the works of Plücker, Möbius, Grassmann and others, and culminated in Riemann's revolutionary vision of the subject.

Galois himself noted that the computations implied by his method were impracticable.

Galois also constructed the projective special linear group of a plane over a prime finite field, PSL ( 2, p ), and remarked that they were simple for p not 2 or 3.

Sometimes Hilbert's statements were not precise enough to specify a particular problem but were suggestive enough so that certain problems of more contemporary origin seem to apply, e. g. most modern number theorists would probably see the 9th problem as referring to the ( conjectural ) Langlands correspondence on representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field.

The groups PSL ( 2, p ) were constructed by Évariste Galois in the 1830s, and were the second family of finite simple groups, after the alternating groups.

Galois constructed them as fractional linear transforms, and observed that they were simple except if p was 2 or 3 ; this is contained in his last letter to Chevalier.

Compact Lie groups were considered by Élie Cartan, Ludwig Maurer, Wilhelm Killing, and Sophus Lie in the 1880s and 1890s in the context of differential equations and Galois theory.

Galois theory, named after Évariste Galois, were introduced to give criteria deciding if an equation is solvable using radicals.

The needs of number theory were in particular expressed by the requirement to have control of a local-global principle for Galois cohomology.

Long standing questions about compass and straightedge construction were finally settled by Galois theory.

Finite groups of Lie type were among the first groups to be considered in mathematics, after cyclic, symmetric and alternating groups, with the projective special linear groups over prime finite fields, PSL ( 2, p ) being constructed by Évariste Galois in the 1830s.
